READY FOR LINER QUEEN MARY (United Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, August 29. Although the liner Queen Mary is not due to leave John Brown’s fitting basin, at Clydebank, for another nine months, the Clyde authorities have already’ completed preliminary plans for her voyage l out to sea. The channel between tiie basin and the. “tail of the bank” is narrow and winding. It may he found best to use two tides and stop the ship for 10 hours half-way down. Awkward corners in the deep water channel aro being dealt with and in one place an outcrop of rock will have to be blasted away. —British Official Wireless.
